City Summary – May 25: Pep’s last day in Munich, Pellegrini wants City trio at next club, Stones to follow Gundogan?

David Silva hasn’t had the best of seasons, continuously fighting through injury, but despite this the Spaniard has ranked fifth amongst the most creative players in the league. He averages around 2.8 key passes per game and stands just behind City playmaker Kevin De Bruyne who makes 3.2 key passes per game on average:

According to The Mirror, City are hoping to tie up a deal for Ilkay Gundogan very soon, before moving onto other targets such as John Stones. Gundogan’s recent injury hasn’t deterred City’s interest and his latest diagnosis suggests that he may well return for the end of August:

John Stones has been attracting the attention of numerous big name clubs this summer and the centre-back is determined to leave Everton in order to further his career. Manchester City are still favourites to land the English defender, but it could take a fee of £45 million to secure his signature:
